Does a fuel petcock deserve a post? I didn’t think so until yesterday when I realized that many of you don’t know that they are available with a universal positioning with a swivel outlet.
So you can order a petcock without wondering in advance how to route your fuel line from the gas tank to the carburetor. This one from Spyke for increased fuel capacity in triple chrome plated brass.
curious how it increases fuel capacity?
in a few years the petcock will be akin to a audio cassette for the young crowd. strange man.
i like petcocks more than a yellow low fuel light. the petcock mileage estimator seems more reliable than the light too. each bike seems to have a different level where the light comes on.
petcocks made it nice and easy to borrow gas from your buds too. not too easy to get gas out of the fuelies.
i carry a fuelie stub fitting on a 6 inch hose in my tool roll…to plug into the gas tank of modern harleys..it easily plugs in to the tank and requires no tools..so its actually much easier than a screw driver and hose clamps and ripped fuel lines..plug and play into ytour carona bottle ( everyone has several of those around) then pour in freinds tank..of course the ribbing of the out of gas offender is up to you!
Great design with easy routing of fuel lines a sure winner with a nice look and Finish.
I’ve got one of these and it looks good and works great.
Had one of these on my Indian Chief. Has a ‘click’ for each position, so you get maximum fuel flow, and good sealing so there’s no bypassing.
I hope it is better than their batteries,they really do suck.There are made in vietnam with a sticker
on top of it.Check it out..
Mmmmmm….I felt they had a great idea when I learned of them in “07, but three out of three leaked badly from the begining on builds we did. I sure hope they cured that problem as we never heard back on their solution.
